Exhibition The electricity highway behind the wall socket

About the exhibition…

Can you imagine your life without light, without heat, without music? Without electricity our life is not the same. What is it, how does it work and how does it reach our homes? We invite you to discover the answers to all this and much much more by experimenting through interactive exhibits.

The exhibition consists of three zones where one can go on a journey from the physical principles of electricity to the role of the citizen as the protagonist in the electricity supply process. The first zone consists of a laboratory of experiments where the visitor will be able to see and to feel how electricity is able of "travel" and become light, cold, heat or movement. The second zone concentrates on the electricity supply process: it explains the challenge posed by the balance between generation and consumption. The third zone, the visitor, as a citizen and consumer, becomes the protagonist of the story. The exhibition consists of a didactic classroom to carry out different workshops, an audio-visual projection room and different interactive materials.
